Where to stay on the Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast has its different flavours and where you stay all depends on what kind of holiday you’re looking for. Sunshine Coast accommodation at Noosa ranges from the very top end, like the 5-star Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas, to simple 3- and 4-star waterfront lodgings along the river at Noosaville. Down the coast, from Sunshine Beach to Mooloolaba, you’ll find more 3- and 4-star hotels with ocean views and good beach access. Caloundra is regarded as an ideal family destination due to its choice of beaches, from the toddler-friendly Bulcock Beach to popular surf spot, Kings Beach. Sunshine Coast hinterland destinations that offer a tempting mountain getaway include Maleny, Montville, Flaxton and Mapleton.
Best time to stay on the Sunshine Coast
Weather on the Sunshine Coast is warm year-round, with some of the highest sunshine levels in the world. Seasonal variations are minimal, so it’s an ideal place to holiday any time of year. Summer is a very popular time, coinciding with the Australian end-of-year school break, so it’s wise to book as early as you can. Winters can be very mild but can get a little chilly up in the hinterland, which is why the cosy cabins and mountainside retreats are so appealing.
Getting around the Sunshine Coast
Hiring a car is the easiest way to get around the Sunshine Coast. Officially stretching from the suburb of Pelican Waters in Caloundra to Tewantin, north of Noosa, the Sunshine Coast covers approximately 60 kilometres of coastline. That said, many of the coastal towns have accommodation that's within easy walking distance of the beach so once you settle into your hotel, chances are you might not need any transport at all.
